Colours galore! Literally..this is the Festival of Colour we are talking about

From food to good mood…there will be plenty of smiles and laughter all around tomorrow afternoon and evening – Saturday 5th August – down in Lavapies – so don’t miss out! Monsoon Holi Madrid aka MonsoonParty is back for its 4th edition and promises to be even more fun. So dig out some old white clothes, round up the troops…and head down to PlazaArturoBarea, which FYI is the new name for the old AgustínLara (thanks Miss Carmena for changing that, ahem).

All the deet and colourful stats you need

Tomorrow Saturday 5th August – from 4pm to 10pm. What else would you be doing….okay, c’mon, finish that caña and head down with your buddies…

5000 people – 600 kilos of coloured flower power powder (tongue twister moment) called “gulal” and a whole lot of water

On 7 occasions they will be throwing powder around from the main stage. On the hour from 5pm-10pm but also at 8.30pm

80 dancers from 10 Madrid and BCN-based companies will be showing off their moves…you can cut some shapes too

Just in case you weren’t sure…it’s completely free!

Though what isn’t free is if you would to buy some extras. Like a power-up in an addictive Candy Crush-esque game. For example, you can buy packs for 2 euros – (or 3 for a fiver, 6 for a tenner), 1.5L coloured water for 2 euros and water puns..I mean guns, will set you back 3 euros.

Beautiful, exciting, cultural and stylish Madrid through the eyes of a Londoner. Read all about Betsy’s life in the capital, which has been her home for the past 6 years…and will be for many more to come.
